       And this is what Paul says the unbeliever’s life is like. Unbelievers often like to paint themselves as the ones who are really free, and Satan spends a great deal of his time trying to make it look like this is the case. He wants the unbelievers to appear as the free people, and the believers in Jesus to appear as the idiots, the ones subjecting themselves to slavery. But, nothing could be farther from the truth. Unbelievers aren’t free, they are dramatically and hopelessly enslaved to sin. They are enslaved to their master, who wishes them harm and destruction. He tells them they are free, but they are only free to do his will, to carry out his purposes and desires. And this works in conjunction with people’s sin natures. They are blind. So, they go about performing their master’s will without even realizing they are hurting themselves, and they are forfeiting the real life they could have through Christ.
